I like this idea, but perhaps in addition to being overloaded, the term "hacker" is also too broad. The constructive sense of hacker can apply to any domain; hardware, software, social engineering, etc. I would suggest any new terms be more specific.
Personally, I would appreciate a term that can be used to specifically refer to software hackers; something that conveys the concept of programming as an artistic medium.
- whimsy 17y agoTry "software hacker." Why go to the effort of making up a new word when there are two already established that will do just fine?
